They have done something to set it apart... Netware support. Sure, there is the ncpfs stuff, but last time I heard, it still doesn't support NDS very well (if at all). Granted, they haven't updated it in a LONG time. The administration tools suck, and you only get 8.3 filenames on ncp filesystems. If they'd fix those two things, (as I have written to the begging for), they'd be moving in the right direction. Also, they need to move to glibc like everyone else in the world...
Another interesting fact, is that Caldera was the company that actually developed RPM. This happened way back in the days of Caldera's CND, which was a set of Caldera extensions over the top of Red Hat. Today, Caldera still looks a bit more like Red Hat (under the hood) than I care to talk about.
So, I guess to sum up, Caldera's biggest problem is that they are a slow-mover. RH 5.2. SuSE 6.0. Caldera 1.3?! Guys, put some money into devel!
I've had TONS of problems with SuSE 6.0... First off, it was a 2 gig download... Networking was broken and still isn't totally right. I can't compile anything. Lots of window managers, enlightenment works, gnome seems to work. Lots of other good stuff too, but kinda buggy.
